Chapter 169 Battle Situation and Demons (please collect, please recommend)
Kay is taken by Courtman to visit a detective named Hercule Poirot, a Belgian.Polo is a retired Belgian police officer. However, because he speaks French, he is often mistaken for a Frenchman. Before the war began, he came to England to settle down. He lived in 56B Wyhaven Building, Sandhurst Square, London. Famous detective.

And when Kay was playing in London with Kottman, the Germans finally started to make some moves.

At 1916 o'clock in the evening on October 10, 22, near Reims, France, when the Germans' routine heavy artillery bombardment stopped roaring, the surrounding was silent and only a breeze blew across the position. Soldiers got up from the trenches and stretched their bodies. , They saw the clouds of fog coming from the north with the wind, and they were amazed that they saw the mysterious European landscape, but they didn't know that an unprecedented death was waving a sickle at them.

At 7 o'clock that evening, the French Army Command lost contact with the front line. Neither the radio nor the wired telephone could be connected. Contact the front line by means of communication - directly dispatching messengers.

In the early days of World War I, radio equipment was popularized to the army level, and the division level did not have its own communication equipment, so radio failures caused troops to lose contact very frequently. At that time, the most common communication method for the French army was wired. Telephone, but wired telephone also has its own disadvantages, that is, the line is easy to disconnect for various reasons.

So the most reliable way of communication at that time was to use messengers to communicate.

But by 9 o'clock that night, all the messengers sent had not returned.At this time, the French command finally realized that there was a problem on the front line.So the headquarters immediately mobilized the reserve team.It's a pity that it was too late. The German army had already broken through the front line and reached the city of Reims.

At 12 o'clock that night, Reims declared its fall, and the French army retreated nearly [-] kilometers before resisting the German attack with a large number of reinforcements.

In the statistics of the French army during the daytime on the second day, the French army lost a total of 9 infantry regiments with a total of 22500 people, including hundreds of artillery pieces, thousands of mortars, and countless weapons and equipment.More than three of these infantry regiments lost contact before the war began and were never seen on the battlefield again.

How exactly the three infantry regiments disappeared, the French command was at a loss.According to the statements of the French troops in the adjacent positions, they heard no battle, no gunshots, no artillery.Suddenly, without warning, the Germans attacked the three infantry regiments from their positions.

In order to find out what happened in the middle, the French intelligence agency began to operate at full capacity, and at the same time, Paris once again strengthened the army in Reims.

But we haven't figured out what happened here. The next day, the German army launched an offensive in the Aisne River area. It was also foggy, and the frontline troops suddenly lost contact. It was also silent. The German army suddenly appeared in the French army's position. middle.Subsequently, the German army formed a salient of the Marne River with a frontage of 80 kilometers and a depth of 60 kilometers in the French front.

Immediately afterwards, the German High Command planned to concentrate the forces of the three armies in the Marne area (3th, 7st, and 1rd armies, a total of 3 divisions, 48 artillery pieces, and about 6353 aircraft). The Nahe section broke through the Allied defense line, and then launched an attack on Paris.

The French 6th, 5th and 4th armies (a total of 36 divisions, 3080 artillery pieces) adopted a deep echelon configuration to organize defenses, and formed a confrontation with the German army, and the two sides came to a stalemate.However, the French command held a negative attitude towards this defense, because they were afraid of the situation of the previous two times happening again. They are still not sure how the German army managed to break through their forward positions silently.

The British government was also very frightened. In order to stabilize France and prevent the German army from entering Paris, they could only increase the number of troops on the front line of the French army. Huge losses, Britain can only recruit troops from the country again.

……

The changes on the front line have also affected London. At least from Kay's point of view, London has become much more depressed.Even if you see pedestrians on the street, they are all in a hurry.Coupled with the deep winter and the cold weather, it gave the whole of London a feeling of sunset.

"The front line is not good. The Germans have now taken the initiative, and France is ready to move its capital again." (During the first Battle of the Marne, the French government moved to Porto)
Cotman seems to be used to chatting with Kay when he is free these days. In fact, Cotman likes to come to Kay, not only because Cotman is curious about Kay, but also because the British government is also contributing to it.They hoped that Cottman could subtly influence Kai, and Cottman did not refuse. Kay knew many things that happened on the front line through Cottman's mouth.

Kai looked at the briefing on the battle situation on the frontline that Kottman got from somewhere, but he was extremely puzzled.He had studied the history of World War I when he was in school. Although he didn't know many details, he still knew the two Battles of the Marne.

如果记忆没有差错的话，第一次马恩河战役1914年9月，这个时间点和这边对的上。而第二次马恩河则发生在1918年7月，可现在才1916年10月底！这次马恩河战役居然提前了两年发生！
And judging from the situation on the battlefield, the situation of the Allied Powers is not good.

You must know that in the last time and space, when the Allied Powers organized their defenses, they prepared a counterattack plan. However, according to the news brought by Kottmann, the main energy of the Allied Powers is still in stopping the German army. They even have no doubts about whether they can hold Paris. Be pessimistic, let alone counterattack.

Judging from the current situation, Germany must have used some extraordinary means.

Just when Kay was about to discuss this issue with Kottman, Catherine knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Excellency, Reverend Dalton is visiting."

Kai's daily routine is to read at home, or visit friends with Kottman. This old man has many friends.Then there is bragging with Cottman at home, men, no matter what age they are, it is a hobby engraved in their bones to point out the country and scold Fang Qiu, everyone likes to make themselves like the leaders of the country.

Undoubtedly, both Cottman and Kai have such hobbies, and they even made a deduction of the war situation in person.

Of course, this deduction is extremely unprofessional, and it is completely subjective and nonsense.But both of them don't care, what's the point of bragging, why care so much.

Kai lived in such a comfortable life, and sometimes George V would join him, but Pastor Dalton had never seen him since the first meeting.

However, Kai can probably guess that what this guy wants to say is nothing more than wanting himself to join their camp.

"Let him in."

Kai didn't shut him down, because he was short of manpower. During this period of time, Kai was still aware of the overt and secret preferential treatment given to him by the royal family and the British government.This face must be given.

Soon Dalton opened the door and came in.

But contrary to Kay's expectations, Dalton didn't persuade Kay as soon as he came up, but handed a stack of photos to Kay.

Although Kai was a little puzzled, he still took the photo.Kai's expression changed immediately when he saw the contents of the photo.

"demon?!!!"

Although the photo was a bit blurry, Ke Kai could still see what was in the photo.

"Where did you get this kind of stuff?!"

The content in the photos is very shocking and bloody. Countless human bodies have been dismembered, the blood has been drained, and piled up in a huge pothole. Some humanoid creatures are carnival in such an environment.

Most of them are pictures of sacrifices. Although Kai doesn't know many of these sacrifice ceremonies, the core things are not much different from what Kai has seen before.

Demon, a very ancient creature.But unlike most people's imagination of demons now, demons have nothing to do with gods and angels, and their birth has nothing to do with human beings.In Kai's view, they are more like an alien creature.

Just like the ice giants that Kay met in Asgard, they came from other spaces, but because of some special coincidence, there was a subtle connection between the demon world and the earth.Demons can run to the earth through something like a space channel.

Kay has fought the creature with the hunks of Asgard before, so knows something.

These things feed on the flesh and soul of humans.It can even be said that human flesh and soul have extraordinary temptations for them. These things can make these demons evolve, so in order to obtain these things, demons will find ways to come to the earth.

However, because there is a group of people who have been fighting against them and preventing them from entering the earth, the Asgardians rarely confront the demons under normal circumstances, because the chances of them appearing are very low, and Kai is lucky to meet them once.

Unexpectedly, after thousands of years, these demons would appear again, and judging from the photos, there were quite a few of them.

Faced with Kai's question, Dalton said with a gloomy face: "The battlefield! The photos our spies took from the Lance battlefield, but due to some accidents, these photos have not been received until now."
